Principal R&D/Product Dvl Engineer

Job Overview

As a Principal Product Dvl Engineer in the Signal Integrity team, you will focus on the electrical design, simulation, and verification-validation testing of high-speed products in the connector and/or cable assembly, radio system industry—targeting high-speed communications and connectivity within data centers and wireless infrastructure. You will be expected to independently work on projects in the areas of signal integrity for product and system design including modeling, simulation, testing, and circuit board layout. You will work collaboratively within a broader cross-functional team of mechanical, manufacturing, & operations to execute leading-edge product designs.  You will be the subject matter expert for the signal integrity performance of a product/platform beginning with the initial analysis through prototype fabrication & evaluation, and production verification testing.  You will tackle challenging design problems and utilize simulation tools to guide complex designs toward success. 

Job Requirements

Subject matter expert in signal integrity design, simulation, and validation activities through product development cycles 
Establishing signal integrity design performance/functional requirements for new products 
Performing signal integrity simulations for multiple high-speed standards on each product. This includes determining the correct simulation methodology and setup to use, as well as a good understanding of the criteria for each interface. 
Performing PCB design schematic and layout reviews 
Creating actionable recommendations based on design reviews and simulation results 
Guiding connector design and component qualifications from a signal integrity standpoint.  Making data-driven decisions about the product functionality and areas for improvement.
